This house was absolutely perfect for our family beach vacation. The beds and pull out couches were plentiful and comfy, lots of options for 3 families with kids 3-19. The walk to beach access was easy and the pool was a nice break from the salt water. Plenty of bathrooms & well-appointed kitchen, lots of parking & lots of porch choices for sitting outside to watch the rain, stars, and sunset. Would definitely recommend!

Perfection!
This is the perfect place for our family. It is within an easy walk to the beach. It is a spacious place - well kept, clean - has anything we might have needed. Of primary importance to us - with 3 young teenage grandchildren - is the private pool. It was wonderful!

Magical
This house was perfect. There were so many wonderful little areas to sit and relax - decks, porches and nooks. Our family of 5 had ample space and my mother stayed in the bottom floor apartment which was very convenient and no steps to worry about. The beach was a short walk. Could.not have asked for more.

Great place for a family reunion
The towels were plentiful, and rooms large with lots of space for us. There were a few minor items that could have used a little more attention. However the location and views from the top floor were amazing and we loved every moment there!

Awesome property!
The house was perfect for our family if 6 adults and 2 children. We loved decks on both sides of the house so there was always shade. Plenty of room to spread out and well equipped. Location was perfect for beach as well as easy access to restaurants by walking, bike or car. My family rated this as the best house we ever rented

Family Get-Away
I cannot say enough that this was our favorite family vacation house! We had six adults and littles ages 3mo -13yo. There was enough space for all to have their own space as well as comfortable areas to be together. The pool was clean as was the house! The beach was a super short walk away. The beach had ample space to spread out an enjoy!! Wonderful week!!

What a Gem!!
We were so excited to visit this property for a friend group vacation. Just a short walk to the beach and a pool in the backyard were must haves for us. The covered outdoor area underneath the house provided a space for us to gather and play games during a pop rain shower. The house is SO much more spacious than the pictures show. You won’t be disappointed!

Best house on island
This was our 2nd time staying in this house, and are planning on trying to get it again next year. This year we had last minute family decide to come, upping our total to 9. Still more than enough room. The kids loved the pool more than the beach, but were disappointed the underwater pool lights weren't working. Also TV in master wouldn't come on/stay on. Everything else was great as always. Being 69 YO I love the walk to the beach, still able to manage it - LOL.
Hope you'll allow us back again next year.
